home，mom announced that she planned to make a quilt，which she had never done before.when i asked why，she said，“dying is boring，and its never too late to learn something new.”over the next few months mom worked hard on the quilt，a simple pattern called “grandmothers garden”as she picked up a piece of calico (印花厚布)，she would say，“this reminds me of the dress you wore on your first day of school，”or“this blue was your fathers favorite color.” each recollection opened the door for a conversation about those things that she wanted to share.as the quilt grew，mom weakened.it was a sad reminder that time was passing too quickly.in the end，she became too sick to work on the quilt.mom died before the quilt was finished，but that was all right.she had creatively used it as a tool to teach me her final lesson，that the“business”of dying is something best done at home and not in the hospital.this is because the real“business”of dying is reaffirming (再次确认) relationships that have

history.as the global recession (经济衰退) bites，early evidence shows a reduction in the number of immigrants coming to work.however，new statistics indicate a high level of net immigration (净移民人数) is here to stay.although the united kingdom has received immigrants for centuries，the country used to be a net exporter of people；only from the mid1980s did the united kingdom become a country of immigrants.nevertheless，the last decade differed greatly because of high levels of net immigration，a result of sustained economic growth for the last 15 years.since 2004，immigration levels have been boosted by an extraordinary wave of mobility from eastern european countries，particularly poland，whose citizens have free movement and labor rights following their entering the european union.public anxiety about immigration，fueled by media attention，has risen with the number of immigrants.monthly survey data from the ipsos mori agency shows that since the late 1990s，people have been considering immigration as one of the top three most important issues the country faces for all but a couple of months.data from different sources shows a similar picture，with between twothirds and fourfifths of the public indicating a preference for less immigration.in this situation of rising numbers and rising anxiety，uk policymakers have attempted to draw up policies to manage immigration.they have responded by establishing a pointsbased system for migration and new institutional arrangements，for example.but they continue to face a set of challengesfrom convincing the public that the government is in control to meeting labor market needs.the current picture shows that the united kingdom had about 6.9 million foreignborn citizens in 2008,11 percent of its population.the five largest foreignborn populations were from india，poland，pakistan，ireland，and germany.语篇解读进入21世纪后，在英国生活的移民数量达到历史新高。5we can learn from the first two paragraphs that_.athe economy of the uk is hardly influenced

for centuries解析：细节理解题。从第二段的although the united kingdom has received immigrants for centuries，the country used to be a net exporter of people可知d项正确。答案：d6the unde
